dublino, if he's doing so poorly, wouldn't it stand to reason that the cycle will stop and he will not be a top sire or producer very soon? Doesn't that happen to most stallions where they have a grace period to show what they can do or they get removed elsewhere?

I'm with Cree- There is a stat that TB's account for less than 17% of the slaughter bound horses a year- still too high, but what about the rest? Stock horse breeders, in my opinion, are far worse for the slaughter "glut" than TB. And by the same token, TB breeders and the JC have taken an active an...

"only obviously different circumstances because I'm a human and she had hoofs and long legs in her to tear at the intestinal tract." But the foal didn't tear into he intestinal tract. It was section of her colon that lost blood supply and died, then ruptured into the abdominal cavity. From what Ive ...

Although not a major circuit, look at Troy Taylor at Hastings Park....he has a very deep stable.


TT has a stable and owners I think ANY trainer at Hastings envies to a degree Thanks the Glenn Todd's financing of really good horses. They've done a lot together.

ET is not a cheap nor easy process that any old vet can or will do. The likelihood of it happening at some time would be very slim, but impossible to say "never". RA's injury this time around is really not a "foaling" problem though is it, not directly related to a dystocia or gestation? This same t...

We used cayenne all the time on our track bandages with never an issue...it's in most commercial chew stop products too. Every barn I've worked in has used it at liberty to stop bandage chewing, I've never heard of a positive from it though! How much would they have to ingest to test positive? As fo...

I think you can claim back all taxes paid out of state...we can here provincially. Some charge and some don't, it seems to depend on the company doing it. For example, we supply product to the oil patch in Alberta. If we ship out of province we charge the tax that the receiving province requires, no...

It's just a done thing in QH circles. Similarly the fact a foal by the same sire are not considered "half" siblings when genetically they are. It's an accepted situation to horse breeders but non horse people don't get it. Every breed has their "things".

Thank you, I will give that a try! I know the breeder has no info on him, owner at last start was Larry Bains. Horses name is Northern Pilot. I groomed him when he ran at Hastings, he went South to Oaklawn with the trainer, and was sold or claimed (can't remember), ran at Charlestown then ended up a...

Trainer- William F Conyers

Anyone know how to contact him, if it's possible? He ran a horse in his last start; I am trying to track this horse down...needle in a haystack journey and my gut tells me he's dead, but I'd like to know for sure if possible, and if he's not, it will be a miracle. Last start was several years ago in...
